Where’s the Third Temple?

A call for religious freedom in Jerusalem by Baroness Ashton of Upholland, the EU foreign policy chief, has been seized upon by extremist Jewish organisations and religious leaders as a statement of support for a controversial third temple on the hilltop in the Old City.

Yet, only two paragraphs later:

Now, some hardline groups are calling for Jews to be allowed to pray on the site they call the “holy of holies” and are interpreting a call for religious freedom in Jerusalem by Lady Ashton as tacit support for the right of Jews to pray at the site.

A representative of Lady Ashton said at the weekend: “It is essential that access to the holy sites in Jerusalem for peaceful worship for all denominations is fully respected.”

There are indeed demands that Jews should be allowed to worship on the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site as well as the religious belief that a third temple will arise in the future.

However, the article and the headline appear to be making a bold and dangerous presumption beyond the evidence provided in the article text itself.

Just how did a call for freedom of worship on the Temple Mount morph into a headline and claim surrounding the building of a third temple?

Third temple , this is the best news I ever heard Halleluiah praise the God of Abraham Isaac & Jacob .Third temple means second coming of the soon it’s written God made a covenant with Abraham saying To your descendants I have given this land , from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates Gen 15: 18 also Gen: 12: 7 ; 17:8 This is God promise Amen
